Let R be the set of all real numbers and f ( x ) = sin 10 x cos 8 x + cos 4 x + cos 2 x + 1 for x ∈ R . Let S = λ ∈ R ∣ there exits a point c ∈ ( 0 , 2 π ) with f ' ( c ) = λ f ( c ) Then
Options
- AS = R
- BS = 0
- CS = [ 0 , 2 π ]
- DS is a finite set having more than one element
Correct answer
A. S = R
Step-by-step solution
Let g ( x ) = f ( x ) e - λ x ; x ∈ [ 0 , 2 π ] so, g ( 0 ) = g ( 2 π ) = 0   as   f ( 0 ) = f ( 2 π ) = 0 Thus, ∃ c ∈ ( 0 , 2 π ) such that g ' ( c ) = 0 ⇒ f ' ( c ) = λ f ( c ) ∀ λ ∈ R ⇒ S = R
